Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.‎ ‎1.

Symptoms range from mild lethargy（嗜睡） to depression and insomnia（失眠）, but a cure might be in sight.‎ Two clinical trials, run by Valkee - who make a device that can shine light into your ear - and the University of Oulu in Finland, have found that carefully targeted light can help prevent the condition.‎ Juuso Nissilä, Valkee's co-founder and chief scientist said: 'We presented earlier that the human brain is sensitive to light.‎ ‎'These two clinical trials show that channeling bright light via ear canal into brain's photosensitive areas effectively prevents and treats seasonal affective disorder.'‎ The University of Oulu reported that in their first study, 92 percent of the patients with seasonal affective disorder achieved full remission after a month of daily eight-to-12 minute doses of light from the Valkee.‎ The results were presented at the International Forum for Mood and Anxiety Disorders in Budapest.‎ Valkee launched its bright-light headset in August 2010. It is classed as a medical device under EU regulations.‎ The device channels bright light direct to the brain via the ear canal to prevent and cure depression, mood swings and even circadian-rhythm disorders such as jetlag. ‎ It costs £185 and looks like an iPod - only the earphones emit light rather than sound.‎ Anyone wanting to copy the effects with a torch is likely to be disappointed, they emit the wrong kind of light that is apparently too yellow.‎ ‎41.
